Default C60L Cab 12

The attached pic came from the AWM. The more significant thing is I will be interviewing one of the men in this picture soon. His name is Jack Caple and he's 2/24th and was a Rat of Tobruk.

Default CMPs in Eritrea, 1941

These CMPs are with 41 Battery of the 15th Light Anti-Aircraft Regiment, Royal Artillery - the Manx Regiment - in Eritrea (Ethiopia) in early 1941.

The first one was in the background of a photo but if I'd posted the whole thing its name "Anita" and census number would have been illegible.

They show some good examples of camouflage. The Regiment used CMP vehicles throughout the war.
